What is the most flattering digital camera for taking pictures of people?
I currently have the kodak easyshare z650, which is a great camera for taking scenic or artistic pictures, but I want a relatively simple camera that is more flattering on people, since I will mostly use it for my friends and I.

Hey ac,
It’s not the camera but the lense and lighting that make the difference. Pick up a good photography book on taking portraits. That should help. I was at a seminar where the instructor made some photos with a $ 15 camera that blew away those taken with $ 3,000 ones.

What’s a good digital camera with a relatively good optical zoom and quality pictures?
I’m willing to pay up to $ 150, or around that price range. I want to take the camera with me to Europe, so it’s important that I can take pictures from long distances. The size of the camera is not an issue and I want the camera to last a while.

Hey periwinklefrank92,
For $ 150, you can get Canon A570 IS and it has a 4x zoom lens. If you are willing to pay $ 200, you can get Canon A720 IS and it has a 6x zoom lens

What is a good quality digital camera for amateurs?
I am asking for a new digital camera for my birthday, and I’m not sure what to get. I have a 2 year old Nikon Coolpix L11 which worked for a short time but all the pictures are blurry and worthless. Every picture I took was blurry and just plain shitty. I want to take pictures with very good quality, but reasonably priced. I am obviously not an expert and need something easy and self explanatory, also easy to upload and share. Small size is preferable. Any good suggestions?

Hey ♥Delanin,
It is extremely likely that the blurry photos are not the camera’s fault.
You need to learn about photography and the limitations of a tiny little P&S camera – and they have plenty of limitations!
One of them is that they just don’t perform well in low light. Blurry photos are caused either by a lack of focus (probably because you were closer to your subject than you should have been on that setting) or lack of light (which makes it harder to focus, plus it increases the shutterspeed).
You need to use a tripod or at least a little bean bag of some sort, as well as the self timer in order to reduce camera shake.
A good photographer can coax some rather nice images out of a tiny P&S, but even the very best camera will take awful photos in the wrong hands.
As to suggestions – here is my usual answer to that one:
Point & Shoot cameras are wonderfully handy because of their small size.
When light conditions are ideal, they even take really nice photos – all of them do.
However, they all DO have limitations – they don’t do very well in low light situations (i.e. noisy photos, hard to avoid blur, etc). The little onboard flash is very harsh at close range, and doesn’t reach very far.
Many of them have no manual functions, so you are limited to only very basic photos, you can’t compensate for unusual situations, or do many fun “tricks” and special effects.
P&S’s also suffer from frustrating shutterlag and many of them chew through batteries rather quickly.
However, if you’re ok with all those limitations, then go ahead and pick one, most of them (the same type and same price range) are rather similar. Personally I would pick either a Canon or a Nikon, and would certainly stay away from Kodak.
A higher end P&S will give you more manual options and better quality. Many of those even give you the option of adding a proper flash (which makes a big difference to your flash photos).
Don’t worry too much about megapixels…. there is a limit to how many pixels you can squash into a tiny P&S sensor before you actually LOSE quality rather than gain it.
Decide which features are important to you, and look for cameras that have that feature.
Then go compare a few models on www.dpreview.com .
The very best thing you can do for your success is to borrow some books and learn about basic photography. A bit of knowledge will make a much bigger difference to your photos than your choice of P&S camera can.
For what it’s worth – if I was in the market for a P&S camera right now, my choice would be a Canon Powershot SX10 IS http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=144&modelid=17630

What is a good slim digital camera for cheap?
I want to buy a used or new digital camera, a very slim one such as the Casio EX series, but those are too expensive. I want to spend about $ 50 for a used/new slim digital camera and I want to buy it on eBay. I’m looking for some off-brand, but quality super slim digital camera ideas.
